Of course not power alone (which is much greater than the stats alone show...being that DX12 brings compute commands down from the thousands to dozens). The doubts went from "can Xbox actually achieve true 4k at all"...to "well the games will have to be 30fps"...to "how should developers use the left over processing power?". But it's insane ability to adapt/adjust to older games not built specifically for Scorpio, the fact that it will also be the easiest console to develop for, and not to mention it's own exclusives and being the best place to play VR optionS (and only console place with any sort of AR). Time will tell, but right now everything is pointing towards the fact that MS built the perfect console by today's standard. Every little detail that comes out screams power, efficiency, and an eye towards adapting to the future in ways the competition can't as easily adapt to.

Microsoft did their Microsoft thing and hyped something up only to quietly reveal later that it wasn't that big of a deal. So now people like you have been fooled and are spreading it around like it's a big deal even though it isn't.

Secondly Microsoft themselves have said repeatedly there won't be Scorpio exclusives.

Thirdly developers are still going to go where the money is, PS4 is selling 3x the software which is why you see companies Rockstar (RDR2) and EA (Battlefront 2) making their marketing deals with Sony.

Most people aren't going to spend $500+ for a console in 2017 that promises games in 2019... especially when that company has a track record for closing studios and canceling games as like Microsoft has.

PS4 has highly rated games now has a huge lineup of already announced games coming out soon and is guaranteed to have a strong lineup of games in the future.

This site really needs to get its shit together or just close it down. This place is toxic for the gamer community. Whatever happened to getting the latest news about consoles and games. Now it's just about approving articles that can generate as much flame and arguments as possible. N4G approves these articles because it gets clicks from gamers waiting for the next place to troll. There's really no reason to even have separate channels for our consoles of choice, because the same articles are posted on multiple channels. I bet the people who own N4G are real jerks who are only about a dollar. Yes, I'm saying this to you N4G, you are very toxic for the gaming community. This has to stop.

Its a business... No one has to read the comments... I kind of enjoy it for social reasons. I can't tell you how many times I have caught myself getting sucked into a comment only to delete everything I wrote. I can say "well I might be crazy, but at least I'm not as bad as these guys." (the buzzwords/phrases the n4g community comes up with always make me cringe).

I can only hope that most of the crazy ones haven't got out of high school yet. It would be a wonderful case study to observe them out and about.

The PS2 came out and had sold a shitload when the Xbox came appeared, with BETTER tech. it lost the "race" because in the end devs went for the bigger install base (PS2) due to it being longer in the market...

The xbox360 came out and had sold a shitload when the PS3 came with BETTER tech (parts of it at least) and SONY struggled for like 80% of that gen due to the install size primarily. devs mostly favoured MS camp again due to install base. People like to say the ps3 was quirky BUT so was the ps2 compared to xbox.

The PS4 came out and had sold a shitload when Scorpio appeared...you guys can fill in the rest.

Simplistic view. M$ was new to gaming and was trying to court some developers over to their console. Developers weren't going to just abandon their relationship with Sony and jump on to Xbox not knowing how a Huge company like M$ will support a console in the long run. You left out that M$ was the rookie and managed to beat the Game Cube in sales that gen. You also didn't mention that 360 took away a large chunk of the Sony install base by dominating in the U.S and leading in the U.K sales wise.

I don't believe MS will ever have such a compounded luxury again. As long as the development simplicity is close and the launch is close, I actually think Sony would still be market leader with a higher price and/or slightly weaker hardware- globally that is.

Personally just bought a samsung SUHD TV so im waiting for the scorpio to get my uhd blu ray player and hopefully some surprises. I hope its under $500.

Just my opinion which may not be what anyone else shares and theres nothing wrong with that.
